For a lot of people, the city is automatically Manhattan or downtown Chicago. They can't fathom anything but that or a suburb, and to be fair America is very bad at making anything else.

This is such a west coast bubble mindset. Basically everywhere west of the Missouri river is littered with 2nd and 3rd tier cities. Many of them are even within a reasonable commuting distance of the nearest major economic hub (though the southeast definitely has a lot of sprawl going on).

Not just West Coast, but Western US. West of the Midwest, and everything becomes vastly more rural.

A Midwestern 3rd tier city is the same as a coastal megalopolis suburb.
